When the Ming army entered the city, the Qing army was still slowly retreating north, along with thousands of cannon fodder and plundered baggage, Dolgon decided to move the camp to the north bank of the Beiyang River more than 20 miles away from Qingzhou City.

This move is for the sake of the safety of the camp, after all, there is a lot of income along the way, if the camp is broken and the baggage is lost, this time it will be in vain!

Second, it is also a strategic need, the camp is too close to Qingzhou City, although the army has not launched an attack, but it is lined up outside the city to face each other, and there is a nearly Wanming army on the bank of the Beiyang River on the west side, and no one can guarantee whether they will suddenly launch another wave of attacks.

There were tigers and wolves looking around on the side of the couch, and the army was panicked.

Along the way, Dolgon's face was gloomy, not only him, but also the generals and tens of thousands of soldiers around him were all depressed, and it can be said that the morale of the army was depressed to the extreme.

This is no wonder that the army is tired, try to ask the Qing Dynasty iron cavalry that time into the customs is not swept thousands of miles, the Ming army heard the wind and fled within a hundred miles of the difficult to find a soldier, plundered is even more full of pots.

However, this time, from the moment he entered the customs, he didn't get a good deal, and he touched a nose of dust under the imperial capital and then went all the way east to the south to plunder...... To be exact, he was hunted down!

It wasn't until later that the chasing soldiers were tired, they were relaxed, and after a while, they broke the city and burned the villages and towns along the way, and they had a bit of the majesty of previous years, although it was very hard to run thousands of miles to the wind and dust, but thinking about the big chicken leg of the Qingzhou Chengheng Palace, I felt that everything was worth it.

In order to gnaw this chicken leg, the Qing army was riveted up and down, and finally touched it with concerted efforts, but it was only touched, and when it was about to be gnawed, the Qing army suddenly had to retreat to protect itself with a slap in the back!

Braving the chaos of arrows, fire, oil and boulders to the city, countless casualties finally touched the city, but was repelled by the Ming army's foreign aid, which was an incomparable blow to the Qing army's soldiers.

The soldiers are like this, and Dorgon, as the decision-maker, is not to mention how irritable he is, to be exact, he is already in a violent rhythm!

A month ago, he went out of the customs to consolidate the position of the regent, but he knew that Ning Yuan's defeat was in a precarious situation, and he had to make a surprise attack on the customs with the intention of plundering the merits, who would have expected this time to be so embarrassed.

Only 20,000 of the 30,000 soldiers and horses entered the pass, and the strongest general, Ao Bai, was seriously wounded, and the British prince Azig was captured...... It's a huge loss!

What to do? Where do we go from here?

Dolgon on the Beiyang River frowned, looked at the depressed soldiers in the distance, and glanced at the generals under his command who gathered together not far away and whispered, and his heart became a mess.

"Ming Ting is ruthless this time, stop us at any cost, if it is consumed, I am afraid that it will not be pleased" Duoduo didn't know when to walk behind him: "If you don't see it, you will accept it, let's go back to the customs."

Dolgon's face was expressionless, and he kept staring at the distance due south and didn't reply: "If you see it, you have to have a good one."

Duoduo looked around and sighed slightly: "Although what you have gained along the way is difficult to compare with previous years, it is better than nothing, it is not that the fourteenth brother still wants to eat Qingzhou City."

"Are you willing to let the duck fly to your mouth?" Dolgon's face darkened: "We ran thousands of miles in one breath, and our legs were going to be broken, isn't it just the fat of King Heng, if you don't take it, you will be unwilling!" ”

"But right now, our soldiers and horses are seriously damaged, and there are thousands of wounded soldiers alone, so it is difficult to shake the Ming army......" Duoduo was interrupted by Dolgon's roar before he finished speaking: "Lao Tzu still has 20,000 iron horsemen, who can stop it!" ”

In the distance, Shang Kexi and other generals were startled by his roar and looked here one after another.

"Fourteenth brother, I am invincible in the Qing Dynasty, and no one is afraid, but at this time, we are still in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, thousands of miles away from the pass, if the Ming army bites tightly......" Duoduo knew that Dolgon's anger in his heart was difficult to quench and said some angry words, so he patiently persuaded him, in his opinion, he must not leave as soon as possible in a battle to avoid long nights and dreams, this thousand miles of travel must be difficult The Ming army will definitely try its best to surround and intercept, after all, this year's Ming army is too different from previous years, like having rabies, so it is better to leave early.

"Let's talk about this matter again" Dolgon exhaled and listened to Duoduo's saliva for a long time, and his heart was a little calmer: "Let's take a look first!" ”

The Ming army entered the city, the people cheered, served tea, handed water, stuffed eggs, and the people were grateful to these soldiers for guarding Qingzhou City, and they couldn't wait to take out their hearts.

And there is nothing in the Ming military law that does not take the rules of the masses, what do the common people stuff, these extremely tired soldiers will take it and swallow it, and then lie down on the spot at the corner of the city wall at the city gate to rest, after all, at this time, the military situation has not been lifted, and the team may be pulled out to fight at any time.

More than 10,000 soldiers who entered the city were lying all over the place from east to west under the north city wall, and even the shouting of the porridge shed could not open their eyelids, and they just wanted to lie down and sleep at this time.

Unless...... Silver!

"King Heng has a reward, but all the soldiers who participate in the war will be rewarded with five taels of silver, ten taels for the wounded, and the bereavement of the war dead will be counted separately, or ten taels of silver will be exchanged for a Tartar head......"

With the shouting of the royal family, the soldiers who were originally lifeless and squinting and taking a nap suddenly boiled, turned over and went straight to the silver car.

"The prince also said that this is only a fraction, and there will be a heavy reward after the tartar retreats......"

Chang Yu and others, who had just entered the city, heard this scene and thanked Zhu Youdi: "Our family has thanked the prince for the reward of tens of thousands of soldiers!" ”

"It should, it should!" Zhu Youdi will not tremble, but a little trembling, the kind of tremor of toothache, the Ming army has a total of more than 30,000, and each person will have more than 100,000 yuan plus a head reward, work-related injury allowance, and a pension of at least 300,000, and this is just the first wave of rewards to boost morale, and there will be a heavy reward after the Tartars really retire from the army.

In addition to the bounty of 30,000 foreign aids, nearly 10,000 townsmen in the city also have bounties and pensions, but they are much less than those of the regular army.

Jia Waixiong's Black Tiger Battalion and Lao Jiu's Black Wolf Battalion, as the main force defending the city, contributed the most sacrifice and suffered the heaviest damage, of course, the highest reward of 100 taels per person, and commanded thousands of them, which was the most in the whole army!

After this battle, it will cost nearly one million taels of silver, and it will really go bankrupt, just ask Zhu Youdi if he can not have a toothache, but then he thinks that it is much better to spend money to eliminate disasters than to be slaughtered and the whole family is burned to ashes.

"Factory Governor, do you see King Heng's toothache" On the way to the palace, Zhou Yuji joked in a low voice, Chang Yu covered his mouth and smiled: "If he knew that His Royal Highness, who was not at home and didn't know the price of oil and salt, was in Linzi to help him with the reward he promised, I'm afraid it would be more than a toothache!" ”

Hahaha, Zhou Yuji couldn't help laughing and attracted a lot of side eyes, and Li Muxian even came over: "Mr. Zhou, if you have something interesting, let's listen to everyone's fun."

Zhou Yuji shook his head: "The Buddha said, you can't say it, you can't say it."

"Hey, Mr. Zhou is giving Poor Dao a sharp start...... Li Muxian was saying and suddenly stared at the side of the road and frowned, Chang Yu happened to look over here, and saw a man kneeling on the side of the road, with two corpses lying beside him, and a few sharp arrows were pierced with blood.

He knew this big man, but it was Qin Fugui, the leader of the horse thieves he met when he came to Qingzhou!

"It looks like you're here to wait for us!" Chang Yu Lema turned over and jumped in front of him, Qin Fugui cried bitterly and smashed his head on the ground: "My brothers are dead, my lord, my brothers are dead, I killed the Tartars in battle, I ......"

"You want to get a name for your two brothers?" Chang Yu raised his eyebrows, and Qin Fugui hurriedly raised his head: "My lord, please, my brother was killed in battle......

"The eldest husband killed the enemy and defended the country and sacrificed his life, and died as he deserved, not bad, not bad, you are waiting for a good job! He who dies in battle is good, and he who lives is good! Chang Yu looked at him and nodded: "As you wish, this governor will register the army for you, and you will be treated equally if you live or die!" ”

"Lord Xie, Lord Xie" Qin Fugui kowtowed like pounding garlic, and Chang Yu reached out to help him: "More than 1,000 people died in this battle, if there is hatred and hatred, you should kill the enemy to revenge."

"My lord, this, this is my own brother!" Qin Fugui tried his best to restrain his emotions, Chang Yu snorted, raised his hand and pointed to the city: "There are still those who died in battle outside, that one is not a brother, a son, or a father...... The military situation has not withdrawn and quickly defended the city! ”

"Obey the order!" Qin Fugui held back his tears and bowed his fist, turned his head to look at the two corpses next to him, and was silent, at this time Li Muxian walked to Chang Yu's side and whispered a few words, Chang Yu raised his eyebrows and whispered to Qin Fugui's side.

Qin Fugui was stunned: "But the lord just said that I joined the army, why did I become a horse thief again?" ”

"Ming is a thief, but he is a soldier, and he will make a great contribution after the thief" Chang Yu patted him on the shoulder: "You go to Xishankou first to find Xiang Wentian and take a good look at this matter" said as he turned over and got on his horse, waved goodbye, and went straight to the palace.
